Oh dear. Feet are such techy things. We rely on them for so much and if we mistreat them they tell us aaalll about it. I just feel thankful I have sensible women in my family who all wear boring, flat, comfortable shoes. We are too practical not to.

Wish I was over there to bathe his poor feet in comfrey tea. He'd have to wait until the flesh wounds had healed properly - not good on open flesh as it makes it heal too fast - but that is how I mended my broken shoulder (I fell out of a train on Charing Cross Station) twice as fast as it should have been.
